Payment for the border wall

Are the Trump haters so unimaginative that they really cannot think of various alternative ways for Mexico to pay for the wall?

While I'll normally venture unresearched unwanted opinions,
on this one I'll just wait to see what happens before ranting.

So, it looks like Trump will be making taxpayers pay for the extension of the wall along the Mexico/US border. But vows that the Mexican government will pay for it later. What do you think? Are you okay with your tax dollars going towards this? Do you think the Mexican government will pay for it later?

For me? I want to see more effective measures for dealing with illegal immigrations. But, I am not convinced the wall is the right way to do it. Whacha think?

We should just double the national debt to build the wall, worked for Obama. :D

I am simply using Trumps tweets as a source. Why go anywhere else besides the horses mouth?

They don't have a say.
Dang, that's pretty blunt. American Exceptionalism at it's finest?

How would you justify forcing a foreign government to pay for our security infrastructure anyway? We could just stop hiring illegal immigrants and buying illegal drugs. The Mexican people have nothing to do with our choices to do those things.

Just not stupid enough to think that they will work, nor will the wall work. If there is really a legitimate way to get 10 billion dollars from Mexico, put it into your education system, or into health care. Don't build an ugly scar of a wall that will serve no purpose other than being a giant monument to hate.

How exactly is this proposed wall going to stop a group of people using tunnels?

I'm looking forward to being irate and outspoken about this subject for the next few years. I just hope they never run out of things for me to get incensed over and distracted by, so I would then have to think about my own life.

Because Trump is infallible and it's yours and the MSM fault for not knowing what he really means. Apparently you weren't around when they were passing out the Trumpism translation guides.

So what is the real purpose of a wall that will cost millions of dollars and will not stop a single person from crossing the border?
It served as a wonderful political tool to draw in frustrated voters who wanted to believe a large portion of their tax dollars goes to illegal immigrants. Despite any argument to the contrary, Trump realized he needed this demographic. It paid off in spades, as we see now.

Drug cartels are designing drones to go over any stupid walls we put up. The wall idea was just to get votes, it won't happen.
